In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus speaks to us about custody of our eyes. Matthew 5:27-28 says, “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Compare this to our secular culture. Have you ever heard a guy say, “I can look at the menu anywhere, so long as I eat at home?” In other words, it’s okay to lust after other women so long as you don’t cheat on your wife. Wrong! According to Jesus, you already have. Instead, try redirection. For a married guy, that means seeing an attractive woman and taking that as a signal to think of your wife instead. Focus on her, not others. Take a good look at your wife today. She is worthy of your loving gaze; that’s where your eyes belong.

Amazon reviewer Joseph Hamrock says:
“Kevin reminds us that with God’s grace we can be the men He calls us to be and the husbands our wives deserve. The daily short read is perfectly crafted to fit into our busy lives. Kevin shares his experiences with a refreshing and rare vulnerability that all husbands can relate to whether just married or decades into their vocation. I’m grateful. This is a must-read for every man striving to truly honor his wife.”
